Prestige French holidays

A Belle France prestige holiday is the perfect way to indulge in a few of life’s finer things. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary or simply deserve a treat, you’ll find yourselves checking into exquisite château hotels in idyllic locations and enjoying memorable meals, often in Michelin-starred restaurants.

Our Prestige holidays combine all that is sublime about France – iconic landscapes, memorable meals often in Michelin-starred restaurants, world class hotels in historic buildings and superlative wine lists. It’s a heady combination for anyone with a passion for France.

The luxury experience doesn’t only apply to your hotels. To ensure the whole trip is extra special, we provide first class Eurostar tickets when you book a holiday with inclusive rail travel. Begin to unwind from the moment you board, enjoying spacious surroundings, free magazines and a light meal.

Prestige with a difference

On holiday, we all enjoy a little pampering and something to remember. A Belle France Prestige holiday is no different. We are proud to ensure a high level of dining options on all our holidays but our Prestige options are the ultimate in choice and gourmet cuisine.

As you make your holiday selection, feel free to ask us about upgrading your hotel and dining options. We can often arrange a ‘prestige-grade’ hotel to enhance the holiday you have set your heart on. And of course, we can tailor make holidays to suit you.
